The flash site is attractive indeed when all its elements are animated. Animation must be accurate and stylish. In Moto CMS the role of animated objects is played by slots.
Slots are more complex elements of the Moto website. They differ from simple objects by animation effects (buttons, bullets, animated images, etc...) and custom properties (highlighting color of a button, disappear speed of a button). Such objects may have their own logic; for example, the slot may be used for the "Date and Time" widget with the "Format text" and "Format date" properties.
Slots are often animated elements - various buttons, animated images and bullets with the changeable size. Some of the slots may be non-resizable and have fixed sizes or automatically adjusted sizes depending on the parameters, e.g. depending on the width of the text - button label.
Although, at first glance Slots can do nothing except display animation, they are not that simple if looked in depth. In fact, slots in Moto CMS can contain ActionScript 3 code of any complexity.
We have two tutorials which show how to create slots. The first tutorial shows how to create a simple slot by example of the close button. The second tutorial describes the process of creating an abstract slot which has its own AS file.
